Light scattering detection of quantum phases of ultracold atoms in optical lattices
arXiv:1001.3230 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.83.051604
Abstract
Ultracold atoms loaded on optical lattices can provide unprecedented experimental systems for the quantum simulations and manipulations of many quantum phases. However, so far, how to detect these quantum phases effectively remains an outstanding challenge. Here, we show that the optical Bragg scattering of cold atoms loaded on optical lattices can be used to detect many quantum phases which include not only the conventional superfluid and Mott insulating phases, but also other important phases such as various kinds of density waves (CDW), valence bond solids (VBS), CDW supersolids and VBS supersolids.
